food 2/10 ambiance 6/10…read moreservice 2/10 overall 4/10 PSA also known as MJ Wright Restaurant and Bar honestly I would personally never step foot back on property. we ordered 1 fish and chips and quantity a total of 2 basic fresh oysters- yes I mean 2 little oysters only. first off it took over 45 minutes to receive this basic fried and non cooked food. yet with that the fish and chips were terrible- when you cut into the fried fish it was some gooey white "fish" that was bubbly and the chips were completely cold when it hit our table. Also to top it all some other customers who ordered the same thing after us received and ate their meals before we were even able to get ours. I would never want any of my friends to experience this since it tainted my experience in Ireland - avoid if you can :)

I tried several dishes here…read more The service was good, the manager was excellent and working hard making sure everyone was happy, it was a busy place. The atmosphere was really nice too. The food was really good too, we tried the following: Tuna Tartar (~€13), my favorite appetizer here by far, refreshing and the flavors are balanced and great My friend got the cumin ribs (€36), fall off the bone, my friend loved it Friend rice cakes (~€8), I liked it, but my friend didn't like the sauce, it was too sweet for them Miso Salmon (~€15), super good, nice and refreshing Tuna Boa (€18), it was crispy, and all but it wasn't for me, like I didn't like it at all, the manager was great and got me a replacement that I preferred instead. It was refreshing to get American quality customer service here in Dublin. Truffle Fries with Parmesan cheese (~€6), it was good Sticky Toffee Pudding with Ginger Ice Cream and Miso Salted Caramel sauce (~€12), super good All in all will definitely go back, great food and night out.

We liked both of the dishes and the ambiance was very nice. We sat in the part of the restaurant with a glass ceiling.

I did the halibut with squid ink risotto. That was amazing. I finished off with the panna cotta that had some lychee ice around it. It was refreshing and I loved it. The service was great here. I wish I could've stopped by again before I left town. This is definitely highly recommended.

The service was quick, too. The ambiance is incredible. Beautiful lighting, elegant interior design, and an upscale feel without being stuffy. It was actually quite a warm and cozy atmosphere. I particularly liked the bar/lounge area, which had velvet green dining chairs that made the space feel both stylish and inviting. For my entree, I ordered the Pan Roast Hake, which was absolutely amazing. It was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. To drink, I had the Mock Mojito. It was refreshing but a little flat for my taste; I would have preferred more bubbles or maybe less lime. I was too full to try dessert, but the menu looked fantastic. I hope to return and try the crème brûlée next time. Overall, a wonderful spot for groups, date nights, or if you're simply seeking an upscale dining experience in Dublin.

I was referred to Bow Lane by staff at the Whitefriar Grill since I found them on Yelp and needed…read moreto grab a bite to eat before the restaurant closed. There were no tables available at the Whitefriar and the host told me that they also owned Bow Lane and that I should give them a try. I was a little confused when I walked in because it looked like a bar to me and I hovered in there for a bit an no one acknowledged my presence. Since I was being ignored, I started walking around inside and found a nook on the far side of the bar is where a hostess was for the restaurant part of the bar. I was promptly acknowledged and seated. It was pretty warm inside the place, too cozy for me. I was impressed with the restaurant portion of the place as it had nice décor, nice seating arrangements and cool ceiling tile. I started off with a beer (not Guinness since I knew I would be visiting the Long Hall immediately after) and was recommended a Clever Man Attractor Beer. It was crisp, clean, refreshing, but with no bite and little character. I ordered a medium ribeye steak which was cooked perfectly. For some reason though, it did not taste like a ribeye to me. I saw that all beef is of Irish origin but just tasted different than what I'm used to in the states. The dish came with fries (chips) and I ordered a unique side dish called goat cheese croquettes which were goat cheese and mashed potatoes rolled-up and fried. I would recommend that you try them. The service was pretty good in the restaurant, friendly and attentive. I'm not sure what happened on the bar side. The food was OK, the restaurant was too warm and the décor was nice. 3 stars!

Came for a Saturday brunch. The brunch options were fairly limited in my opinion. They offered a…read more"bottomless boozy brunch" for 25 euros. I went with that and ordered a Bloody Mary which was quite spicy but otherwise pretty delicious. The service was very good. Our server, Antonio, was kind and accommodating. For the next round I asked for a mimosa but was told they aren't included in the bottomless brunch. Instead I was offered a "bow lane fizz" made with melon, apple, and Prosecco. I couldn't help feeling confused and aggravated that the arguably most popular brunch cocktail, a mimosas, wasn't included in their bottomless boozy brunch. Especially considering they were happy to serve me Prosecco, as long as it was mixed with apple and melon instead of orange juice. For 25 euros I expected more. Ordered the eggs benedict with ham. The dish was just okay. Would have benefitted from more hollandaise sauce and less spinach. My last comment is that my party arrived at 12:30 pm on a Saturday and we were seated in corner booth. The restaurant was mostly empty during our time there, however they were blasting loud hip hop and salsa music the entire time. It was too loud for my party to hear each other. We asked them if they could turn the music down just a touch and we were told they couldn't. We regret coming in and definitely will not be back.

My partner and I visited the Old Music Shop Restaurant for an Afternoon Tea during our trip to…read moreDublin to celebrate our anniversary. I emailed ahead to let them know we'd like to sit outside in the courtyard and that we were celebrating and they were very kind and set they'd reserve an indoor and outdoor table and we could choose which one to sit at when the day came. Fortunately for us, the weather was absolutely beautiful that day and so we were able to sit outside. They had set up a beautiful table for us with a happy anniversary banner and a happy anniversary balloon. It really made the moment very special for us. The staff were so kind to us the entire time. The outdoor space was so serene, and because we came early for afternoon tea - we had the entire space to ourselves which was perfect. The afternoon tea was delicious, the sandwiches were great, the pastries were great, and the desserts were great. My favorites from the menu were the cream cheese and dill pastries, the fancy ham and cheese finger sandwiches, and the eclairs. We also ordered two little Prosecco bottles to celebrate which were tasty. Everything was very reasonably priced as well, I highly recommend Old Music Shop for an afternoon tea!

What made the tea so special is the service, Triana was so friendly and helpful that it made my visit all that more memorable. By the end of visit, I was waddling out the door with a promise to be back again and a big smile on my face from the food, hospitality and pots of tea. If you're in Dublin, waddle on over and give this place a go, you'll be glad you gave it a go!
